NOTE 2:       BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
In January 2023, the Company completed an investment of $5,500 in the common stock of Weev Energy B.F. Ltd., ("Wevo"), an Israel-based software startup, specializing in EV charging optimization and management for sites with large quantities of EV chargers, which represented 34.8% of Wevo's outstanding shares. Wevo's solution will also be part of the SolarEdge ONE energy optimization system for the Commercial and Industrial ("C&I") segment, designed to offer SolarEdge customers a single energy optimization solution that orchestrates and integrates between on-site solar generation, battery storage and large-scale EV charging.
 
On April 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all remaining outstanding shares of Wevo for approximately $13,331 in cash.
 
Pursuant to ASC 805, "Business Combination", the Company accounted for the Wevo acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Identifiable assets and liabilities of Wevo, including identifiable intangible assets, were recorded based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the closing of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Such preliminary valuation required estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows and direct costs in addition to developing the appropriate discount rates and current market profit margins. The Company’s management believes the fair values recognized for the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were based on reasonable estimates and assumptions.
 
From the initial investment through to the purchase of all remaining shares, the Company's share of net losses were $646.
 
The fair value of the original investment was determined by multiplying the total fair value of Wevo, as outlined below, by the Company's 34.8% ownership stake and applying a discount to account for lack of control.
 
The Company determined that the acquisition date fair value of the original investment on April 1, 2024 was $5,979, resulting in a gain of $1,125.

Acquisition costs were immaterial and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
 
Goodwill generated from this acquisition was primarily attributable to expected post-acquisition synergies from combining Wevo's platform with the Company's product offering to its commercial and industrial customers. All of the Goodwill was assigned to the Solar segment (see Note 24). Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair values of technology, customer relationships and trade name were derived by applying the multi-period excess earnings method, with-and-without method, and the relief-from-royalty method, respectively, all of which are under the income approach whose underlying inputs are considered Level 3. The fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on management's estimates and assumptions.
 
The results of Wevo have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of income (loss) since its acquisition date and are not material. Pro forma financial information has not been presented because the impact of the acquisition was not material to the Company's statements of income (loss).
